Description
Rhodohypoxis Mixed
Rhodohypoxis Mixed is a delightful collection of mixed-colour Rhodohypoxis, producing masses of star-shaped flowers in shades of pink, deep rose, red and white throughout the summer months. These compact clump-forming alpine perennials feature attractive narrow hairy green foliage and a tuberous root system, making them ideal for rock gardens, alpine troughs, raised beds, patio containers and gravel gardens. Their long flowering season and compact habit create a stunning carpet of colour from late spring well into summer.
Why Choose Rhodohypoxis Mixed?
This colourful mixture provides a beautiful range of flower colours within a single planting. Furthermore, the compact growth habit makes these plants perfect for smaller spaces and alpine displays. The flowers are produced continuously over many weeks, creating exceptional garden value and a vibrant display throughout the growing season. As a result, Rhodohypoxis Mixed is highly prized by alpine plant enthusiasts and collectors.
Growing Rhodohypoxis Mixed
For best results, plant Rhodohypoxis Mixed in full sun in free-draining, humus-rich soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Water regularly during the active growing season, particularly from spring through late summer. However, keep plants relatively dry during winter dormancy to prevent the tuberous roots from rotting. Once established, they form attractive clumps that gradually increase in size each year.
Perfect for Alpine and Rock Gardens
The compact nature of Rhodohypoxis Mixed makes it ideal for alpine troughs, rockeries, gravel gardens and patio containers. Moreover, the low-growing habit allows the flowers to create a colourful carpet effect when planted in groups. Therefore, these charming perennials are perfect for gardeners looking to add long-lasting colour to smaller garden spaces.
Care and Maintenance
Rhodohypoxis Mixed requires minimal maintenance once established. Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming throughout the season. In addition, divide mature clumps during dormancy to maintain vigour and create additional plants. Finally, ensure excellent drainage during winter months to protect the tuberous root system.
